#mixin — Public Fediverse posts

@screwtape saw this and thought of you https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/25/1111238/the-mix-in-revolution/ #mixin #mixins

I can't quite convince myself yet that all inheritance/coupling is intrinsically bad, but I'm more and more recognising abstract base classes (ABCs) and #mixin classes as anti-patterns because they hinder #testability, which to me is key to quality software; #ABCs and mixins are by construction impossible to test on their own, and both patterns only make sense if a language supports inheritance, so it seems that the simplest option to avoid them is to get rid of inheritance altogether.

Ever want a pure CSS regular #polygon?

Back in 2016, I first wrote this #Sass #mixin to generate one. I've had others before, but this is the one I've kept updating it ever since and it's heavily commented.

You just need to pass it a number of vertices and an initial rotation.

If you ever want to create a regular/ star-shaped #polygon, I made a #Sass #mixin that generates them years ago
